Master in Department of Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science and Engineering

Computer Science and Engineering, offered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, covers the theoretical foundations and practical techniques behind modern computing, including algorithms, data structures, computer systems, and software design. Students typically study areas such as artificial intelligence, database systems, computer networks, and operating systems, building both the mathematical grounding needed to reason about computational problems and the engineering skills to build working software and systems. Research within the department often extends into specialized areas including machine learning, distributed systems, and computer vision, depending on faculty focus and student interest. Graduates move into software engineering and development roles across nearly every industry, as well as into more specialized positions in artificial intelligence, systems architecture, and data engineering. Technology companies, from startups to large corporations, hire computer science graduates for roles building applications, infrastructure, and increasingly, machine learning systems. Others move into research positions in industry labs or continue toward doctoral study for a career in academic or advanced industrial research. Given how broadly computing skills apply, graduates of this program also find opportunities in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and other sectors that rely on custom software and data systems to operate. The program runs at Sejong University in Gwangjin-gu, South Korea, is delivered in English, and takes about four semesters to complete, with new students admitted in March or September.
